Calculate the refractive index of a material based on the speed of light within it.
The refractive index (or index of refraction) of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material.
It is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum (c) to the speed of light in the material (v). A higher index means light travels slower in that medium.
